S1 Ep 18She Reads, She Leads: How One Book a Month Can Transform Your Business, Confidence, and Financial Future with Jen Kornoely

What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn’t another course… but one powerful book and a room full of women willing to talk about it? In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Kornoely, founder of She Reads, She Leads, to explore how one book a month is helping women build financial confidence, sharpen business skills, and create real momentum. We talk about money mindset, connection, implementation, and why reading alone isn’t enough. If you’ve ever thought, “I should know more about this by now,” this conversation might be exactly the nudge you need.About Jen KornoelyWhen Jen Kornoely left corporate and started her own business in 2015, she didn’t know what she didn’t know. She was a skilled photographer, but finances, marketing, confidence, and business growth? Not so much.After years of slowly building her business through personal development books and masterminds, Jen realized there had to be a faster and more accessible way to gain the skills and confidence women entrepreneurs need. She created She Reads, She Leads—a membership-based book club where women learn business and personal development skills together, implement what they learn, and build meaningful connections along the way.Key TakeawaysWhy reading alone only gets you 10–20% retention—and what dramatically increases implementationHow discussing a book helps you apply ideas instead of just highlighting themThe mindset shift women need when it comes to money and abundanceWhy one book a month is enough to create real, measurable changeHow community accelerates confidence, networking, and business growthThe surprising power of books you don’t likeHow connection and storytelling often lead to opportunity✔️Connect With Jen KornoelyWebsite https://www.shereadssheleads.com/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jenniferkornoely,LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifersharpkornoely/✔️Connect With Host Andrea StenbergWebsite: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneurGrab a copy of 7 Essential Videos for Explosive Growthhttps://my.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/7videosLove the show?

S1 Ep 13From “Too Much/Not Enough” to Fully Seen with Jen Vertanen

If you grew up hearing you’re “too much” or “not enough,” visibility can feel like standing under a spotlight with no script. In this energizing chat, transformation coach Jen Vertanen shares how she reverse-engineered her future 80-year-old, fully alive self; and used that vision to show up now.We talk death-by-a-thousand-paper-cuts conditioning, why authenticity beats polish, and tiny, doable actions that get you visible without being precious, perfect, or burnt out.What we coverWhy visibility is non-negotiable for coaches, healers, and heart-centered entrepreneurs (and why buyers are craving real over slick).“Too much / not enough” programming and how it quietly blocks your voice…and your marketing.The 80-year-old self exercise: reverse-engineering the qualities, values, and behaviors of your future self so you can embody them today (hello pink hair and fuchsia Docs).Authenticity > perfection: why stumbling, laughing, and being “charmingly awkward” creates trust and connection.Baby-step bravery: the small, safe actions (record to yourself, practice reps on mic/camera) that build confidence fast.The repel era: attracting right-fit clients by being unapologetically you—and letting the wrong ones self-select out.Mindset flip: from “look at me” to “let the right clients find me.” Your work matters more than a flawless delivery.Style as signal: color, clothing, and “you on a good day” visuals as authentic brand cues (not vanity).Quick takeawaysYou don’t need to be “ready”—you need to start (tiny, repeatable reps beat perfect plans).Being visibly imperfect makes you relatable, not risky.Define success from the inside out (identity → action → results).Boundaries are a visibility tool: magnetize your people, repel the rest—on purpose.Connect with JenWebsite: bedarecreate.com Facebook facebook.com/jennifervertanenInstagram instagram.com/jenvertanenLinkedIn linkedin.com/in/jenvertanenYouTube youtube.com/jenvertanenConnect With Andrea Stenbergwebsite: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneurLove the show?

S1 Ep 12Show Up Your Way: Introvert-Friendly Branding Tips with Jane Mucklow

If “be more visible” makes you want to hide under a blanket, this one’s for you. Branding photographer and introvert-friendly visibility strategist Jane Mucklow shares gentle, practical ways to show up—without burning out. We dig into baby-step marketing that actually feels good (think blogging + email before live video), how to use photos when you’re camera-shy, the “you on a good day” rule for brand images, when to book a pro shoot (and when a selfie is perfect), plus the mindset flip from “look at me” to “let the right clients find me.” Hit play and leave with doable moves you can try today.What we talk aboutWhy visibility can feel extra hard for introverts—and how to ease into it without burning out.“Your pace, not the pace”: starting with writing (blogging, SEO, email) and scheduling social so you’re not “on” all day.Photo confidence for camera-shy founders: relaxing your shoulders, planning the shoot, and shooting “you on a good day” (authentic ≠ unprepared).Simple, no-face content ideas (hands, behind-the-scenes, POV shots) and when/why your audience still needs to see your face.Pro vs. casual photos: how to mix both, and the signals it’s time to update your headshots (new hair, major style change, or the “no one recognizes me on Zoom” test).The reframe that helps you finally post: it’s not “look at me,” it’s “let the right clients find me.”About Jane MucklowJane is a brand & visibility strategist and branding photographer who helps introvert business owners market with confidence and ease—in ways that actually feel good.
